IF YOU THINK IT DOESN'T MATTER
HOW MUCH ENERGY YOUR HOUSE USES,
TRY MULTIPLYING BY57MILLION.
For some six years now, we at CP&L have been talking
about ways that you can cut down on your energy bill.
Now; to prove that they work, we've put together
some figures, based on the following assumptions.
The houses are exactly the same: 1500 square feet,
and a family of four. Both are fully equipped with appliances
and central air conditioning.
The house on the left side has storm windows and
doors, and proper insulation. During the summer, the
thermostat is set at 78° In the winter, its set at 62°at night
and 65-68° during the day The family is also very careful
about using hot water and appliances.
The house on the right has no storm windows or
doors, only standard insulation. The thermostat is set at
72-75° during the summer months; 72° during the winter
- months. The family practices no energy conservation.
In a year, the house on the left uses about 28% less
BTU's (units of energy) than the house on the right.
So you can see how you can save money.
And, just as important, you can affect the whole
country's energy supply when you consider that there
are 57 million homes in America today. If every home
conserved energy like the one on the left, this country
could save over 337 million barrels of oil in a single year.
And that's a sure way to help control I
this country's energy situation in the future

New Car Fever Begins
To Claim First Victim
"New car fever" claims
its first victims with the
arrival of the 1978 automobiles
on car lots and in
showrooms.
As the economy recovers,
consumers who postponed
CETA
(Continued from page 1)
way to do this is through
CETA, the officials announced.
Whitley says the program
has caused a decrease in unemployment.
He estimated
the unemployment rate in
March at about 11 percent
with about six percent now.
Title 1 will be closed
Friday, leaving nine unemployed;
but the State
CETA positions will hire
nine. Title 1 has two blacks,
four whites and three
Indians.
Title 2 has nine blacks and
one white; Title 6,13 blacks,
seven whites and one
Indian; Title 6 Project, 14
blacks and one white.
The County Manager's
office said that when a
position in the county is
open, the position is advertised
in the paper. Anyone
can apply but the best
qualified applicant will be
hired. There is no discrimination
according to race, the
officials said.

buying a new car are now
buying, says Joe Walker,
family resource management
specialist at A - T
State University.
New car sales slowed for
the first time this year in
July but are picking up as
the new cars roll off the
factory assembly lines.
The new styles will bring
retail price increases ranging
from $200 to $300 per car,
according to the major auto
manufacturers.
People in the market for a
new car should keep a few
facts in mind before getting
caught by "new car fever."
The best time to buy is
generally when the demand
for new cars is low. It's hard
to bargain with a salesman
when he's selling cars as
fast as they arrive.
Watch for car sales to
slow in the late winter, after
the first of the year.
The best time to buy a new
last year's model car is in
the late summer or fall.
When buying a car, check
the EPA gas mileage
ratings. They should be
posted on every new car.
Keep in mind that gasoline
prices are predicted to go up
again during the year.
Check the warranty and
see when it ends. It is
usually in miles and months,
whichever comes first. See
what is covered by the
warranty and what things
you will have to pay for.
Also check what maintenance
costs will be if the
car is similar to last year's
model, check with someone
who has one.
Many people believe that
the price on the sticker is
always the price of the car,
says Walker. You can
bargain for a lower price
with nearly all but import
car dealers.
In that case, ask for a
higher trade-in allowance
for the car you are trading
in or for lower costs on
dealer installed options.
The next article in this
three-part series will focus
on car payment and obtaining
credit.
